In May 1877, Vincent walked from his home in eastern Amsterdam to Zeeburg, an area further east. He visited the Jewish cemetery on the Zeeburgerdijk and wrote to Theo:
“It’s very simple, full of old tombstones standing upright with Hebrew inscriptions and elderberries here and there, and covered with long, dark grass.” Read the complete letter
Vincent evidently enjoyed the atmosphere of the cemetery, as he visited it again a week later.
